What is electron domain of AsF3?
AsF3. electron domain: tetrahedral. Molecular geometry: trigonal pyramidal. CH3.
What is the hybridization of AsF3?
Explanation: As F3 has sp3 hybridisation. ln sp3d hybridisation, the dz^2 orbital is used along with the ‘s’ and three ‘p’ orbitals to form three equatorial bonds and two equally strong axial bonds for a trigonal bipyramid.
How many electron pairs are in carbon?
4 pairs
The carbon originally had 4 electrons in its outer level (group 4). Each oxygen contributes 2 electrons – 1 for each bond. That means there are a total of 8 electrons around the carbon, in 4 pairs. Because there are 4 bonds, these are all bond pairs.
Does carbon have unshared electrons?
Carbon has FOUR valence electrons. It needs FOUR more electrons to achieve an octet. It gets those four electrons by sharing: by forming FOUR covalent bonds. CARBON’S octet: FOUR BONDS and NO LONE PAIR.
Why is group 14 called the carbon family?
Group 14 is the carbon family. The five members are carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. All of these elements have four electrons in their outermost energy level. Of the Group 14 elements, only carbon and silicon form bonds as nonmetals (sharing electrons covalently).
